摘要
Qinghai-Xizang Plateau Monsoon (QXPM) is a prevailing wind system with a seasonal reversal of wind direction, which is caused by the thermal effects of the plateau. QXPM plays a vital role in the energy budget and water cycle of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau (QXP) and thus has profound impacts on the formation and variations of Asian climate and environment. The review on the QXPM and its climatic influence is not only the need for an in-depth understanding of the climatic and environmental of QXP but the requirements of the country's ecological civilization construction and social and economic development. This paper reviews the advances of studies in QXPM, emphasizing its multi-scale variability, factors affecting the QXPM, and its climate and environmental effects. The existing studies show that the formation of QXPM is an important sign of the beginning of Quaternary and related to the uplift of QXP closely. The variation in QXPM is significantly influenced by QXP heating, the tropical sea surface temperature, Atlantic Oscillation, and teleconnection patterns. Existence and variations in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau Monsoon have notable impacts on the climate of the QXP and its surrounding area, such as Asian monsoon, South Asian high, mid-latitude westerlies, and so on. In the future, the relationship between the water vapor transport condition, thermal characteristics, and dynamic characteristics of the plateau monsoon system needs to be clarified. Studies on the interaction between the complex land surface process and the QXPM need to be strengthened. Moreover, under the background of global climate change, it's also necessary for us to analyze the response of QXPM to QXP warming.
